Cheating Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen is plotting her TV comeback — alongside jilted hubby Clive
CHEATING Amanda Owen is plotting her TV comeback — alongside jilted hubby Clive.
The Yorkshire Shepherdess, 49, feared the end of her telly career after we exposed her five-year fling with a 71-year-old web designer.
But the mum-of-nine is returning in Channel 4’s Our Farm Next Door.
The series will follow Amanda, Clive and their son Reuben, 19, as they renovate a farmhouse. It began production in August and is due to air next year.
A source close to the family, based at Ravenseat Farm in North Yorkshire, said: “Amanda’s ego has taken a battering. Her popularity fell off a cliff after the affair was exposed.
“She knows the only way for her to get back on TV — and for it to be successful — is for Clive to be involved and for them to put up a united front.”

Locals say Clive, 69, is “endlessly kind and tolerant” despite his devastation at the end of their 22-year marriage.
And he vowed to continue working with her on the farm after her affair with Robert Davies was rumbled.
Mr Davies’ wife, Yasumi, was left devastated after she found a note from Amanda to Robert inside a bag in his car. It read: “Robert, life is too short & happiness is too rare. I love you.”
She confronted her husband, whose eldest daughter is Amanda’s age, and he confessed to the betrayal.

Yasumi said: “Instead of acknowledging my pain, he was more concerned about protecting her TV career.
“I’d watched Our Yorkshire Farm and couldn’t help but be impressed by her.
“She portrayed herself as a wife and a mother, devoted to family, and an inspiration to others. But she’s been lying to the public and living a double life.
Five-times-wed Mr Davies is still seeing Amanda.
But TV viewing figures saw her solo show Farming Lives attract less than half the viewers of Clive and Reuben’s Yorkshire Farm spin-off.
